Going from a P-II to a P-III you'd get some extra functions that you may
make your spiffy program run better.
Going from a P-II 350 MHz to a P-II 400 MHz, all you get is more speed;
or better yet more MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second.). You see
an otaku implanted an encephalon as the first type of upgrade. I think
the otaku's brain already emulates the functionality of an encephalon and
thus the actual implantation of an encephalon is akin to the second type
of upgrade. Even if you see it as the first, there is a raw power boost
and the otaku should get some benefit without programming.

Here's a nastier, though ... should their be any compatability issues
when implanting an encephalon in an otaku? (ie, would otaku need a
different interface with the encephalon?)

I prefer original recipe, myself ... :P
